​The administration of St. Jude the Apostle School is responsible for determining the admission of students. Mindful of our Gospel heritage and the commitment of providing a quality Catholic education to our local parish families, St. Jude the Apostle School implements policies and practices on admissions as directed by the Department of Catholic Schools. 

Admissions Requirements

The first consideration for admittance to St. Jude the Apostle School is readiness. Any student, regardless of grade or age will be tested and/or have the recommendation of a previous school.

Consideration will also be given to:

      •     Incoming students with siblings

      •     Transfer from another Catholic school

      •     Membership and participation in St. Jude Parish or other local Catholic community

For all new students, the following documents are required:

      •     Official certificate of Baptism

      •     Current record of Immunization and Health

      •     Certificates of transfer from the school last attended

      •     Parent Questionnaire

      •     Kindergarten/Pre-school and/or academic reference ​

Parents/Guardians of new students will be required to meet with the principal. This, in most cases, will take place after the student has tested. All candidates for admissions will then have his/her application, records, and or testing reviewed by the school leadership team. A letter from the principal will state acceptance for admission.

Readmission

 Parents/Guardians must register each year to have their student readmitted. Readmission of current students is dependent upon:  

      •     Satisfactory academic progress of student

      •     Positive attitude and social interaction of student

      •     On-going parish support

      •     Completion of parent commitment through hours and/or payment

      •     Up-to-date tuition and fee account

      •     Willingness to work together for the benefit of your student and the school community

      •     Timely completion of registration form and accompanying payment

Students leaving St. Jude the Apostle School with the intent of returning at a later time will have to apply as if a new student.  Present students who do not submit registration forms for the following year on time will lose his/her spot in the class and have to re-apply as a new student.  Submitted forms must be accompanied by the registration fee of $75.

Parents/Guardians are asked to update all changes in information as they relate to health records, physicians and emergency contact numbers.
